Re: Funny how everyone points at the Tories doing all kinds of shenanigans...

@cynic56, does it really constrain the power of the megacorps? Does it? Legislating for a specific use case is short-sighted (albeit with good intentions). Just remember how much local councils abused RIPA in the name of service delivery despite it being designed *not* to be used for such purposes (funnily enough, RIPA was to deal with terrorism...).
